3D-printed Rail Bogey, Huddersfield University


3D-printed Rail Bogey, Huddersfield University. A "bogey" is a module with wheels, that is then attached to a carraige. Everything on this bogey other than a few small screws, has been printed. The scale model is to show a new prototype of a bogey intended for freight traffic. Reproduced with the permission of Dr Adam Bevan or Huddersfield University.

Bearing Fabrication by Three-Dimensional Printing

The bearing illustrated below is made of plastic which has been built up by three-dimensional printing. This includes the balls, which have not been assembled after fabrication of rings, but rather, in situ. The bearing belongs to Tony Glendhill.
